Hi Sonja_Cicchetti,
in fact Outlook doesn't provide a button to insert an image to auto reply, but you can do that manually, using cut & paste. I've just tested it:

Victor_Ivanidze I am aware that there is no button to insert an image to auto reply, and that you can manually insert using cut and paste but after you've saved and exited, go back in and you will see the image will not be there! They do not allow it to stick.

Hi Sonja_Cicchetti,
my bad - I did not make sure the image doesn't remain there after inserting.
Try a possible workaround: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/Lync/en-US/73697b50-c727-40fd-a7e0-30c1e6a73e2a/how-do-i-insert-images-in-an-outlook-2016-auto-reply-message?forum=Office2016ITPro

Victor_Ivanidze again I am aware of this and have implemented it but don't think this is a suitable work around since now the disadvantage is that this will reply to every message you receive! This is not very professional in my opinion, imagine all the out of office notifications once would receive when multiple persons are on an email thread and staff and clients are replying back and forth. This is why I think Microsoft should really consider fixing this PROBLEM!
